Chapter 22: Time waits for no one
The strongest, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the Nine Drum of the Great Song Dynasty!
The little phoenix lowered her eyes and looked at her wrist, although she didn't mention it much, the matter was still a knot in her heart. Now that I heard the Queen Mother say this, everything has disappeared.
"Many people in this world look alike, but the mother and daughter may not be similar. Ruyi was said to be unsightly by the people in the harem when he was a child, but the more he grew up, the more similar his eyebrows and eyes were to the emperor. The emperor pointed to marrying her far away, and he didn't like her, but it was actually a good marriage. The Queen Mother let go of the little phoenix's hand and patted the back of her hand twice, "The daughter of the emperor's family has too many people who can't help themselves, but they are not as good as you, they are good-looking, their eyesight is good, and they can find a suitable good person." ”
When the little phoenix listened to the Queen Mother's words, she really didn't see the slightest severance, but seemed to be her own elders who were earnest and kind to teaching, and her eyes turned red all of a sudden.
The Queen Mother touched her hair again, and when she saw that she was full of green silk and did not see a piece of jewelry, she sighed lightly, took off a jade hairpin on her head and handed it to her.
This gift is too heavy to receive. The little phoenix wanted to retract her hand, but when she saw Gu Changming nodding her head, she hurriedly saluted again, "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”
"It's like that, I don't think you look like a child. The jade hairpin is not worth much, and it can be regarded as a part of the mourning family. The Queen Mother asked the female officials around her to lead the little phoenix out, "The mourning family and Xiao Gu have something to say, you go out and wait." The mourning family will not stay with him for too long, and the time will not wait for anyone. ”
As soon as the little phoenix left, Gu Changming understood that the Queen Mother had something important to explain.
"The mourning family knows that you bothered about Lao Jiu's affairs." The corners of the Queen Mother's mouth trembled, all bitter, "Although this case has been closed, the mourning family always feels as if something is missing." Lao Jiu's temperament, the mourning family understands very well, although he is not good enough, he will not make enemies and grudges with others, who will harm him like this. Presumably there is someone behind the scenes, are you sure it's Liu Zhiyuan? ”
"Liu Zhiyuan is dead, Liu Zhuxuan's knowledge is really limited, and Liu Zhuxue knows nothing." Gu Changming took this into consideration, for fear that the Queen Mother would be angry with Liu Zhuxue, so he hurriedly helped her get rid of it.
"Xiao Gu, born in the emperor's family, is also involuntary regardless of men and women. Lao Jiu wants to give the mourning family Chenghuan, even if he is incompetent all his life, but unfortunately some people can't believe him. The Queen Mother no longer looked at him, her eyes looked into the distance, and she seemed to have a clear answer hidden somewhere far, far away, "Since the case is broken here by Liu Zhiyuan, the mourning family is not embarrassed by that Liu Zhuxue, but her brother can't stay anymore." Kaifeng Mansion can't produce another monster. ”
"Thank you Queen Mother for your success." Gu Changming heard the Queen Mother also say the word monster, thinking about the tragic situation when the Nine Emperor Princes died. The Queen Mother's expression seemed to be unfazed, but the roots of her cheeks and teeth were obviously raised, as if she had clenched her teeth and didn't know it.
"Your father is not a big crime, a piece of the emperor's heart. This Qi Kunmen Taoguang is obscure, it is clear that he has seen the benefits, and there are too many secret backgrounds, the emperor should regret it, and sooner or later he will bring it up. But now is not the time, Gu Wuduo's temperament is too upright, and he just hit the muzzle of the gun, and the emperor put on a posture to appease Qi Kunmen and Qu Jingshan, do you understand? "The Queen Mother doesn't leave the palace, but what can she hide from her eyes and ears.
"I get it." Gu Changming did not have the slightest objection, and it was all up to the Queen Mother's low profile.
"The mourning family will send you to the prison to meet your father, and if he comes to his senses, persuade him to say a few words. Don't confront the emperor at this juncture, some things will be straight, sooner or later there will be results, not to rush for a while. The corners of the Queen Mother's mouth picked up a strange angle, seemingly smiling, but not like laughing, "What is his heart for Concubine Min, you are a junior, don't ask more." ”
"Listen to the teachings of the Queen Mother." Gu Changming heard the word Concubine Min again, and his mood no longer fluctuated. Yiren has passed away, and he is convinced that his father's insistence is that he cannot tolerate the existence of an organization like Qi Kunmen in the court, not just for Concubine Min.
"She looks so similar to Concubine Min, you are bold enough to dare to bring people into the palace. The mourners want to ask you, if you can get in or out, what should you do? The Queen Mother smiled and asked Gu Changming to give a seat, "Don't stand upright, the mourning family is old, the neck and shoulders are not good, and they are always tired and panicked when they talk with their heads up." ”
"I'm just bringing people to the Queen Mother." Gu Changming said very implicitly.
"She must have come from somewhere, not by chance." The Queen Mother heard Gu Changming roughly say the relationship between Little Phoenix and Qu Jingshan, "I don't have my own name, just called Little Phoenix?" ”
"When she left home, she was too young, and she had a nickname named Nannan, and I can't remember anything else." Gu Changming had made up his mind to find a life experience for the little phoenix, but this was not the right time.
"Since the mourning family has made you the master, it proves that she has nothing to do with the palace. From now on, she should be able to rest easy. "After all, the Queen Mother is old, and she is tired, and her eyelids are a little unable to open, "The mourning family will remember this child, and if you find relatives one day, you will give a message to the palace to let the mourning family rejoice together." ”
Gu Changming nodded in agreement, he was originally a little worried about the Queen Mother's always targeting Liu Zhuxue. Now thinking of the queen mother's knees with a total of two children, the emperor is the king, and the nine princes died early in the prime of life, the blow to the queen mother can be seen.
After the Queen Mother found out the truth, it was a great favor to be able to let Liu Zhuxue go, so it became a good thing that Liu Zhuxue was removed from the Liu family tree.
"Okay, all the mourning families that can be done have been done for you, without further ado, go to the prison to meet your father." The Queen Mother closed her eyes, and the last thing she said was, "Say to your father to take a step back." ”
Gu Changming waited for a while, the Queen Mother's breath gradually became heavier and slower, and she fell asleep while talking. He got up and bowed silently, and then slowly withdrew from the temple.
As soon as he came out, someone immediately greeted him: "Gu Gongzi, the Queen Mother has an order, let the little one take Gongzi to the prison." ”
"What about the girl who came with me?" Gu Changming glanced at it, but he never saw the little phoenix left and right. Probably because Old Imperial Doctor Wen once reminded him that he didn't dare to be too relieved.
"The Queen Mother only told the little one thing, and the others didn't know." As soon as this person's words came out, Gu Changming made a direct move, grabbed the other party's throat with his right hand, pressed the person against the wall, and slowly moved up.
The man struggled, and his feet were nothing more than touching the ground, and soon his face swelled like pig's lungs, and it was extremely difficult to breathe.
"Since the girl who was traveling with me came with me, I must take her with me, do you understand?" Gu Changming's voice was cold, and he didn't mean to joke at all.
This is the queen mother's bedroom, the other party has never seen such a bold person, and his temper is still so explosive, he can't even use the strength to nod, he can only blink desperately.
As soon as Gu Changming let go, he threw the person to the ground, held his neck with both hands, and looked at him in horror.
"What about people?" Gu Changming's actions were fast and ruthless, and his voice was still as calm as ever.
"Gu Gongzi, wait a minute, I'll look for it, I'll look for it right away." The man struggled to spit out a sentence and ran away.
Gu Changming didn't say a word, with one hand behind his back. Since it is understood that it is the queen mother's bedroom, wouldn't it be suspicious that a man who is not a eunuch appeared out of thin air? It's really too simple to set the problem, he estimates that Situ An wants to test it, but unfortunately he used the wrong place and method, and he can take back the part of the cooperation at any time.
The man went and came back quickly, followed by the little phoenix who had nothing to do. He stumbled, and the little phoenix did have a light gait, and there was no panic at all.
"Where are you from?" Gu Changming saw that she was fine, and his face improved slightly.
"Sit in the back and eat dim sum, the palace is the palace, and the dim sum made by the imperial chef is exquisite and delicious." Little Phoenix's cheerful tone at first suddenly stopped when she noticed Gu Changming's face, "Something happened to you here?" ”
Gu Changming didn't want to talk more, so he stepped forward and took her hand and said, "Neither of us had an accident. ”
"That's good." Even if Little Phoenix saw something, Gu Changming didn't want to say it, she would never ask a word more.
"Did you bring me any snacks?" Gu Changming smiled, like a spring breeze, making people no longer think about other things that had nothing to do with him.
The little phoenix stomped his feet and said, "You have been in the palace so many times, where is it rare to eat those." ”
The two were talking in a whisper, and someone else came over. This time, he didn't mean to show his horse's feet, so he came up and saluted first: "Master Situ is waiting for the two of you over there, please come with me." ”
"Why is Situ An's ghost lingering, where we go, he goes. This is not the time when we went out, he was still at the Liu family, and he actually came before us again. The little phoenix was not afraid that the person would hear it, and sure enough, the corners of the other party's mouth twitched, and he wanted to drink to shut her up, obviously afraid of Gu Changming by his side.
"He originally ran at two ends, and he would go to which end he saw if he had interests." Gu Changming not only did not want to stop her, but added fuel to the fire.
When Situ An appeared again, he was afraid that Gu Changming would ask questions first, so he took the first step to explain: "Don't misunderstand, Gongzi Changming, it's not that I have the ability to take you to the heavenly prison and refuse to help." If it weren't for the Queen Mother's mouth, I really wouldn't have this ability. After speaking, he took the initiative to spread out his palm and showed him a small jade plaque, "Big living people are not more effective than this." ”
"I believe that Lord Situ is doing his best." Gu Changming didn't mention the origin of the person he almost strangled to death just now, everyone knew it, it was not interesting to break it, and it could be regarded as hard money for Situ An's escape.
Situ An was bent on covering up his stupid temptation, and he was polite on the road, but before he arrived at the prison, he asked with some sorrow: "The prince of Changming took the jade plate and went to the prison to see his father, which can be regarded as a fair and righteous move, what can this girl do?" The prison is not a ready-to-wear shop, a rouge shop, anyone who wants to enter or go out. And it's not good that the blood in it is red and mushy for the young girl to see it. ”
"She's not afraid, she can go in and watch." Gu Changming didn't appreciate it at all, and pushed back a hard sentence.
Situ An touched his nose, but he didn't dare to say more. As far as he knew, the small jade plate in the queen mother's hand had the authority to enter the prison, and three or four people were fine. He's just troublesome, and the fewer people who go in, the less likely it is to get into trouble.
Little Phoenix looked up and grinned at him. Situ An was keenly aware that there seemed to be something hidden in his smile, which made his back feel a faint chill.
Sure enough, when he arrived at the gate of the prison, the guards asked to show the emperor's edict or other tokens, and Situ An was about to take out the jade plate, and when he touched his body, his blood almost retreated. The little jade plaque that Fang had just put away seemed to have grown wings and flew away.
